Justin Timberlake in 2013

lmao @ JT for thinking that this of all things merited seven minutes

damn not an Elvis Costello cover then.

imo you chumps have got it all wrong tbh, jt is clearly a modern day bunuel interrogating bourgeois absurdity thru luxury longueurs

"Take Back the Night" not sounding too bad now in comparison, is it now?

Come on. Like chanting "kill me with that coochie coochie coo" isn't jumping the shark so hard their water skies touch down in the lunar maria.

sure yeah but like how is that not just the latest in a long line of timbo cringe

whatever tho nbd

Wait is this the next single or just the track being previewed at the moment? World of difference imo, Justin's deep cuts have always had dippy lyrics galore

reminder: "if you'll be my strawberry bubblegum, then I'll be your blueberry lollipop"

Idk. That one never bothered me but I never took it as literally as some here did.

taking it figuratively is the bigger problem

Is the whole bubblegum pop genre a squick then?

these are all time

b/w the verse where lil wayne goes "i just kissed a avatar, now i got a blue dick"

can't second the "jump the shark" claim cuz this is self-parody (esp right after "holy grail") rather than jt completely losing the script, but man this is dumb

but i've always thought his album tracks were poop from the get-go

it's actually surprising that beiber or that austin mahone guy or somebody hasn't dropped some seven minute heartbreak wail with a dude hiccuping in the background

p sure it's a single. I don't even think this is unlistenable or anything, I like the beat switch-up at the end, but it totally fails the suspension of disbelief test.

They seem more interested in channeling Justin circa 2000-2004 than JT in his current self-indulgent elder statesman of pop pseudo-throwback phase and I don't blame them.

it's prob a bad sign that I immediately assembled half the lyrics in my brain upon seeing the title

It was assembled in one of those word association mad lib sex/love metaphor generators that made half of the last Ciara album

...holy grail

...TKO

...grocery bag

it's funny when radio stations cut off the first minute of the Jay-Z song so all you hear is an abrupt "OLY GREHH" before the rapping starts

ahhhhh I wish stations here would do that. JT getting his Journey on is the biggest bummer

haha terius at his most tedious wishes he was steve perry

this whole thing is shaping up into a Rufus Wainwright Want One/ Want Two kinda deal.

Want None

lol

Part 2 is streaming on itunes now.

oh gosh

link?

first song sounds good, not paying attention to the lyrics tho... something about someone in a cage tho, prob not a good sign

What even is this True Blood track?

honestly that whole track makes me think of the bears/menstruation myth

way to ruin Jim McMahon

hahaha

JT's the one to remake "Superbowl Shuffle."

heard 'take back the night' in a bud light platinum commercial - good classy product to attach your brand to, jt

so far this is kinda ugly and unpleasant where the first part was pretty lush

cause i got you sayin' "jesus" so much it's like we laying in a manger

smdh

please say the next line is "got you sittin' on my flagpole like you was harvey danger"

There isn't interesting enough production this time to help me ignore the lyrical bankruptcy on display here.

He is sexy.

like Harvey Danger sittin' on a flagpole

is everyone overcompensating to make up for the wholly incorrect split decision on the last JT record or is this really genuinely as bad

no it makes the last one look better in retrospect esp from a conceptual level

you realize he's the "creative director" of bud light platinum right?

yeah i figured that out when i googled bud light platinum and his name was like 5th in the results.

it's truffle season... time for tuxedos for no reason [and bottles of Bud Light Platinum™, a bolder light beer that's triple filtered for that smooth top-shelf taste]

but yes i thought everybody knew that justin timberlake was the creative director for bud light platinum. ask any man on the street, he'll look at you in the eye as if you're crazy before answering "why, of course it's justin timberlake"
